March is Bike Theft Awareness Month! Circulate San Diego has teamed up with other local partners to provide important resources and programs to help keep you and your bike safe!
The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition has many great resources to check out and learn about. You can access these tools at: https://sdbikecoalition.org/event/bike-theft-awareness-month/
Circulate San Diego is using Bike Theft Awareness Month to zero-in on the importance of bike locks! Unfortunately, some of our staff have had the terrible experience of having a bike stolen - even with it locked! Therefore, we don't want anyone else to ever experience this tragedy, and we want to help make bike riding (and locking) an enjoyable and care-free experience!
Below are some links to videos and resources to help you select the most dependable lock. We have also included a quick-guide resource that you can download and share. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
